Is there any point caring about white balance?
I suppose we're taking RAW photos because we're going to edit them afterwards. White balance is easily done in PS Elements 9, for example. Should I even bother about using anything else than auto?
I'm not asking if there's any point not knowing our ways around WB. Clearly, shooting in raw isn't always favourable, at least not to me. When shooting in JPEG, taking good care of the colours is very important.

PS: I've been taking all the Christmas photos in RAW. I regret it. I didn't care much about composition and removing paper etc, and I now have 150 pictures that I can't open in anything else than PSE. That isn't a bad thing in itself, but others want the pictures, and I have to convert them. Conclusion, just use RAW in "real" photography ^^ The question applies to those situations
Question number 2
I can adjust the saturation, contrast, sharpness etc the camera. These are things that the camera applies to JPEG images, right? RAW images won't be affected by that?
